11 Movie Sequels That Turned Badasses Into Total Wimps

11. The Raptors - Jurassic Park 3

Universal Pictures

There was a time when Raptors were the worst possible thing to encounter: armed with razor sharp claws and a ferociously inquisitive nature, they could open doors and gizzards with reckless abandon. And unlike the lumbering, anti-heroic T-Rex, they seemed to kill more for sport than because they just didn'€™t know any better. They were the wasps to the T-Rex€™s bumble-bee.

But then Jurassic Park 3 came around, and while the killing machines were still involved, they were reduced to mo-hawked idiots, who could be confused by the use of a 3D printed version of their wind pipes. Now, Dr Alan Grant can probably charm all manner of people, but the idea that he could randomly blow into said instrument and produce coherent dino-words is ridiculous enough, but what the hell would he have said anyway? €œDon'€™t mind us, fellow Raptors, we are just dressed as delicious lunch-people. We mean you no harm, and are definitely all dinosaurs.€ Preposterous.

And the Raptors should be ashamed of themselves for not just opening up his belly and watching his intestines spill on the floor as he tried to blow the word for €œow€.
